Hit and Run / Délit de Fuite by / par David Palmer / Dax Sheppard

Romantic action comedy about a former getaway driver (Dax
Sheppard) who leaves the witness protection program in order to drive his
girlfriend (Kristen Bell) to Los Angeles for the job of her dreams.

Charlie Bronson (his assumed name) entered the witness
protect program four years ago after giving a witness statement that sent the
accused to jail. Living in a small town, he met and is now living with Annie.
One particular day, Annie is called in to see her boss. On her way she
encounters Randy (Tom Arnold), the Federal Marshal assigned to protect Charlie.
They talk a little; she leaves; Randy spills his coffee; quickly jumps out of
his car which continues to roll down the hill towards a house where two
children are playing in the front yard. Randy starts shooting at the car,
terrifying the children. This is witnessed by the mother and Charlie. He goes
out and invites Randy in. Randy explains other incidences where he fired his
gun.During the interview with her boss, Annie is told that her
idea for a conflict resolution program has been accepted. The only hitch is
that she will have to go to Los Angeles. When she tells Charlie of this, he
decides to leave the witness protection program and drive her to Los Angeles –
the scene of his former criminal life. It gets very complicated when Randy,
Annie’s ex-boyfriend Gil (Michael Rosenbaum) and Bronson’s former gang led by
Alex Dimitri (Bradley Cooper) start to chase the couple.Very funny film poking fun at the clichés rampant in most
car chase films and succeeds in avoiding becoming entrapped in those very same
clichés. The characters are well developed, complex and lovable with the black
and white being separated by a vast grey zone.
